It took a long time for me to relate what I learned in classrooms to a potential career as an ecologist. As a way to help students see what an ecologist does on regular basis, feel free to keep up with lab happenings through my educational site blog. Developed in conjunction
with several UCSB undergraduates, this website serves as a link relating
our research activities to what we currently know about the intertidal
system as a whole. Check it out for information on what we see
happening in the intertidal community and how our research fits into the
bigger picture. There are also lab videos, photos, and classroom activities.Marine Biology from Dos Pueblos Career Day: Presentation from Dos Pueblos High School career day in 2010, when I talked about how I ended up as an ecologist.
